The picture you see here is of me. It has always been my most favorite picture of myself. Each time I came across it, though, I’d get a strange warmth around my heart and I always smiled. I say it was a strange warmth because I never felt warm when I saw pictures with me in […]

In 2018 I will be releasing three new books, the contents of which have been written over a period of two years, informed as they are by a lifetime of being The Most Brilliant Woman in the World (TMBWW), which began when I was a mere child of thirty months. TMBWW is not Hillary Clinton. […]

Breaking solitary is not easy for a writer. As writers, we need to be alone. I thrive on living in my head. Inventing worlds known only to me. Please do not interrupt when my characters are speaking, thinking, acting, planning, and plotting, thank you very much. Sometimes, though, I need to step outside of myself […]

Quickies have their place, and they can be a-okay, too. Of course by their very nature, quickies usually leave somebody hanging. In the bedroom, well that’s between you and your mate. But in business, oh…that’s not good even once. Since 1992 I’ve been writing for businesses. With the advent of MailChimp and Constant Contact and […]

Hey, have you read Angela’s books? Get them here.

They say a watched pot never boils. They are right. In a hurry to cook spaghetti noodles, I’ve watched plenty of them and they never boil until you turn away. For me, as a writer, that pot is whatever book I’m working on. If I sit in front of the screen and I try to […]

Thus spake the greatest romantic poet and writer of the nineteenth century. Victor Hugo; author of Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame; works of such political and emotional depth and certitude of man’s unchanging genetic condition, that for the better part of two centuries the sale of his books and tickets to mounted […]

The seed of every struggle is planted when a body gets its feelings hurt. Think Hitler and Mein Kampf, or his Great Struggle. The dude might have had some valid points, but his methodologies to effect change for the better did not work. His nose got out of joint producing a snotty snit that threw […]

Dear RadFem, I would love to know why you are focused only on male violence and totally silent about the thousands of years of female abuse of men and children? Why do I hear nothing but crickets when I ask you about the well-documented subject of female-on-female violence, an open secret in the gay community? […]

Dear RadFem, For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, if women are reacting in their daily life because of the fear of what will happen to them at the hands of men, and it causes them distress, you would call that systematic oppression when it happens over generations. I have watched […]

Dear RadFem, Yes, the oppressed can oppress others. I make no distinction here between race, gender, nationality, or economic segments. I also believe an oppressed class can systemically oppress another class. I also know for a fact not all men or women are evil, but that some can be. Therefore, in my attempt to be […]

There’s an old joke that goes like this. A man and his wife are in a restaurant. A beautiful woman walks up to the man, says hello, bends over, cleavage front and center, and gives him a sensual kiss, which the man returns. The beautiful woman walks away. His wife is outraged. She says to […]

Marston Morse was a mathematician who, if memory serves – and most simply at that — somehow defined the basis for string theory. In describing his journey to that discovery, he also happened upon a definition of male/female relationships, namely — The roads by which we arrive at our insights seem to me as worthy […]

Sitting on a barstool, an old man once summed up his lifetime with women in this way. He said to me, “Boy, let me tell you. I’ve got it all figured out. See, I’ve been around. I’ve seen it all – or close enough. And I’ve been in some nicely sticky situations — hehehe — […]

There is nothing like riding down the road with the radio turned up to traffic-annoying levels while singing along to a song and beating in time on the steering wheel. I discovered this when I was driving away from Lucinda’s house after she turned down my offer of marriage. Actually, I cried for a couple […]

My regular readers know I’m working on a novel series branded as Dance Floor Wars, and that I’m pushing Durden Kell as the John Le Carré of Love. My regular readers also know I’m writing songs to go with those books and the movies that will follow. It’s called planning for Multiple Streams of Income. […]

More Americans than ever before distrust the mainstream media. Newspaper and magazine circulations? Down. News and Gotcha shows’ viewership? Down. Twitter usage? Massive growth until they started manipulating what they approved of. Now down. Nobody’s surprised at this except for the 6% of the population who still believe everything the media writes as gospel truth, the media […]

When old folks die, nobody wants their books. So relatives load them up and off they go to Goodwill where I find a lot of books I would never have known about or that can hardly be found anymore. A book I recently found was written by Stephen Greenblatt called The Swerve: How the World Became Modern. This […]

[This is about a real-life man from the blog of Gordon Wesley Asbury, a fictional character in the Dance Floor Wars novels.]   Upon contemplating suicide early in his adulthood, Buckminster Fuller had a vision. Suspended inside a sphere of light, Ol’ Bucky heard a voice say, “From now on you need never await temporal attestation […]

One of the most spectacular dances in the history of film,  Gene Kelly’s choreography was of such a standard that a special Oscar was created that year in recognition of his achievement. But what has this dance got to with editing words? Simply this: What you see on the screen was not the original dance they filmed. […]
